Dynamic sender in extended notifications - possible?

[Hilsbos, Margaret A]

Hi Mike,

Thanks for the suggestion. Let's assume for the moment that my users are inflexible. They want to see the emails in Outlook coming from a real person, not 'whatever system'.  Also assume I have good ABAP skills. In that case, can you give me an idea where you would start with a custom hack?  (I know I could suppress the task in extended notifications, and send custom email with CL_BCS from a parallel workflow step. But I think you mean something else, that would still use the extended notifications job.)

Thanks,

Margaret

Hi Margaret,

Not by standard means, but a simple workarounds could be to change the
text, e.g. "Approve TNFD 1234 from Jeff White"

Otherwise Extended Notifications is certainly flexible enough so that you
can custom-hack it, but it's a bit of a job requiring good ABAP skills.

Regards,
Mike
